Abstract
Crystallization is the non-conventional operation allowing to obtain crystals with high purity from a liquor. Taking advantage of different components solubilities, more than one pure species can be obtained from the same solution. Nucleation and growth phases can be described by dedicated models. The delta-L law derivation for the crystal growth process is explained in detail and the relationship between linear growth and growth ratio is discussed by mean of a case study.
